The Flight Instructor Course (Flying Instructors course) consists of 30 hours of dual training. It covers the complete PPL syllabus and teaches you how to instruct across the length and breadth of the PPL Course. There is also instruction in how to give Pre Flight Briefings and Long Briefings for the PPL Course. Once completed you will face a long day's scrutiny at the hands of a Flight Instructor Examiner (FIE) who will test your instructional technique in both the classroom and in the cockpit.
